The AI industry is booming. Women are getting left behind
Women hold a small share of new, well-paying AI jobs while being disproportionately concentrated in roles most likely to be automated away. The gap suggests the AI economy is not distributing its gains or its risks evenly.
Why this matters: The AI boom is creating two tracks. One leads to better pay and more security. The other leads toward jobs that AI is already starting to replace. Women are landing on the wrong track more often. That is not an abstract diversity statistic. It means the people with less power in the labor market are also the ones with less protection from the disruption everyone keeps talking about as a future problem. For them, it is already a present one.
